The path to environmental excellence requires attention to detail to track progress and maintain accountability. Third-party standards, such as those put forward by the International Organization for Standardization, can help by providing objective targets and points of comparison with other like-minded organizations.
Management and accountability goal
By 2025, we will meet international standards (ISO 14001) for environmental management at all of our hospitals.
Our current progress:
Piloting of ISO 14001 is underway at 2 hospitals in order to test initial implementation methods and share learnings with other hospitals.
